Oh yeah, it's Blogtoberfest!

Yes, I have severely fallen by the wayside on my first Blogtoberfest attempt. Life is very interesting* at the moment, and it's not ideal blog post material. I can't fool myself that anyone wants to read about my curtain fabric choices every day for a month!

I'm going to follow Punky Vic's example and share a favourite quotation. This isn't wise advice or a polished piece of wit; simply a favourite few lines from a novel.

Emily did not look up from her paper. She was reading about how to peel whole oranges and stew them in caramelized sauce. Emily hated cooking, and she always read recipes, to enrage herself. She could get quite emotional about recipes. She took them as personal affronts.
